Viewed 593 times
Summary
MD5 checksum is more common for software verification.
However some might ask for the SHA512 checksum or SHA256 checksum of the Zerto installer
However some might ask for the SHA512 checksum or SHA256 checksum of the Zerto installer
Steps
Use the windows cert utility to generate SHA512 checksum.
For example:
SHA512 that we normally recommend to use as it is more accurate and harder to manipulate
See the below how to get it:
C:\>certutil -hashfile "Zerto Virtual Replication VMware Installer.exe" SHA512
SHA512 hash of Zerto Virtual Replication VMware Installer.exe:
